“Alexa and and Austin are amazing they make me come back they’re customer service and attentiveness is hard to find especially in a chain restaurant. I hope they get the recognition they deserve. KEEEP THEEEM FOREVEEEERR, the day they leave I leave and everyone I always bring with me lol.“

“I was impressed by the bagels! Had a mix of sweet and savory bagels. The bagels were fluffy and seemed very fresh. I'd come back again for the bagels. Note: Didn't pickup any cream cheese spreads since I was a bit nervous from the other Yelp comments of how other dairy items didn't seem fresh so I didn't want to take the chance.“

“The entire experience was, as usual, wonderful. Food server MATT was very upbeat, lively and efficient. It was a great way to celebrate our anniversary dinner. We were happy that your put the bigger sized rotisserie chicken back on the menu. You only had one vegetarian meal on the menu -- perhaps in the future you will add more veggie items.“

“Fantastic place! Quality food, consistently great. I need to explore more of the menu, but the Nashville hot chicken sandwich keeps ending up winning out so far. I’ll get there.Loaded fries are amazing too. Don’t get soggy even when you get them to go.Totally recommend if you have a taste for the spice!“

“I absolutely love this place. Everything is fresh and delicious. These dogs are creative, are made in house, and the options are endless. I am consistently going back to try them all.Vegetarian options: Can switch out any hot dog with a soy dog“

“It was my first time there, and I now have a new go-to place. Very well run from the management to the staff! There is a great menu with specials every day. Live music on Friday and Saturday nights. I went on retro Thursday and can't wait to go again. Thank you to 22 West Tap and Grill for a great time!“

“I patronized this restaurant 4.21.24 foe the very first time. And I must say the food here wass a sin to my belly. When I say this food is AMAZING it is TRULY AMAZING. The first thing I ordered was the funnel fries and omg was I delighted when they hit my taste buds. I also ordered a cheese steak in which it was so mich meat for the money that I could only eat half. My husband had the chicken fingers and fries in which he loved. Needless today I will he stopping by there for another order of funnel fries. I recommend this place 1000 times“

“Bovine is the place to be in Jamesburg. We love their events nights like family feud, trivia, and live music because it's the kind of place you can sit down and feel welcome by the staff and people around you, especially at the bar and ESPECIALLY when the manager Kyle is on. I recommend this place wholeheartedly to everyone, whether they live near or far. If I had to recommend anything (I've been here a bunch) I'd say try out the Jamesburger and Oreodough milkshake. And if you're feeling wild, get an alcoholic Nutter Udder Shake or Diablo margarita (spicy!).“

“Went on a Sunday afternoon to watch some NFL Playoff football. Bartenders were fast/friendly, drinks were cold/served perfect, and food was good. There are TV's everywhere, so there really isn't a bad seat. Great atmosphere, friendly crowd, with a sports bar look and feel. Plenty of parking and bathrooms are spotless. When in town again, we will definitely stop in.“

“We went there for lunch. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting. The menu is extensive. The soup was fantastic! The entrées were ample and packed with flavor. Service was prompt and attentive. Overall a very pleasant experience. We definitely will be returning.“

“The OG hot chicken sandwich spot!!! My family and I can't live without Namkeen. Everytime we go, the service is amazing!! They are all such kind people and take such great care of their customers. The waffle sandwich hits EVERY time! The portions are huge and I HIGHLY recommend trying them. So glad they are in central Jersey now :)“

“Ordered food for a family party and EVERYONE at the party loved the food. They delivered the food to our home and couldn’t have been nicer. I had never even eaten there before and decided to support a local business and I’m so glad that I did. The food was absolutely amazing and everything was fresh. HIGHLY “

“I have been going to Confect's for many years and can honestly say I have never been disappointed in my meals there, just have a difficult time deciding what I want to order because I enjoy so many different meals on their menu. Two of my children brought my mother and I there for Mother's Day and the appetizers and meals were delicious! If you have never eaten there I highly recommend giving them a try. I also want to extend kudos to our server, Melissa! She was awesome, very attentive (we didn't even have to ask for refills on our drinks) and very friendly. Thank you to the owners and staff for helping to make Mother's Day a little more special!“

“Although seemingly plain on the outside with stucco plastered on its walls, it has a certain charm once you walk in. With a few counter stools, old fashion booths, upbeat workers and great service, this really is a great place to visit just for the environment. As for the food, I would recommend a specialty burger since you can't go wrong with the burger of your choice and fries. However, I wouldn't recommend the American cheese on it. And if you don't particularly like sautéed vegetables, I would shy away from the Italian hot dog. As for the drink, as long as you like ice cream, a milk shake is the right choice for you. However, don't get the orange juice, as my sister described it as tasting like dirty dish water. With some great meal options and stellar service, this place is definitely worth the visit. No one, except for the community, would know it's a hidden gem.“

“The food was very good and we had a toddler with us and the staff was very good with her.l and couldn't be nicer. The atmosphere is happy and not too loud but enough noise that the baby did not bother anybody. It is a go-to place for us and it is a byob (bonus).“

“Very good breakfast and deserts, especially for people with a sweet-tooth like myself. The waitresses were friendly, even though it was a holiday. As for atmosphere, I always enjoy diners with that classic 50s/60s feeling, even if I was not alive during those times lmao. Altogether, this is a lovely eatery that I will definitely come back to in the near future.“

“This was my second time there. First time was many years ago. So, I decided to meet a friend there a couple weeks ago on a weekend. Place was mobbed! After having lunch, it was understandable why it was so crowded. I had a stuffed French toast, which was absolutely fabulous! I would definitely go back, but during the week. Since I'm retired, it's not a problem. I gave it four stars, only because I don't like crowded places, even post Covid.“

“Customer for years. Friendly service, quick pick up time, and literally the best pizza within 10 miles.Actual pizza with a fantastic sauce. LARGE slices if you come in for a quick slice and quick service if you're pressed for time. Not overpriced like many places in the area.Dinners are a good deal and the chicken parm never disappoints.“

“I ordered lunch from Dootsie's today (via UberEats) and I'm STILL FULL! The food was amazing, full of flavor and tasted like it was made with care. The baked chicken was SOOO GOOD, collards & cabbage well cooked! And I don't know what is in the Mac and cheese but I could probably eat a whole tray of it in one sitting. ?“

“First time visitors, happen to drive by and decided to try. Pretty good service. We don't eat meat so we ordered Mediterranean Panini with vegetables. It was made quite well. And the service was pretty good.. I would ask for couple more options for Vegetarians :)Vegetarian options: There were a few choices, for sure.Parking: Small parking in the side but we didn't have any issues“

“I have been here a total of 3 times in the last month & they have messed up my order every time… either the wrong order completely or missing items… add that to the usual lunch hour wait & yes… they need to improve the customer experience..“

“Super good! Me and my siblings went during the night a few weeks back when it was really nice out and the place was packed!!! The workers were super attentive and very apologetic about the wait time (which we understood since it was INSANE) the ice cream was absolutely delicious. I got the baileys flavor and was blown away by it! I will be coming back as much as my bank account and doctor will allow ? I highly recommend this place to everyone who wants to have great service and amazing ice cream.“

“Had a great meal at Gusto's last night. The steak sandwich was amazing and cooked perfectly. My boyfriend got the burger and loved it as well. Our waitress name is Karina and she was amazing. We also had the toasted marshmallow old fashioned and the blackberry margo-jito, both very good drinks“

“Found this spot by searching for diners near Somerset, NJ. What's a visit to NJ without s stop to a diner. This was a great decision. My meal consisted of French toast, bacon, home fries and scrambled eggs with cheese. Everything was delicious. Walk in seat yourself. Our server was very pleasant. Decor on the wall was beautiful. Looks small from the outside, but was the perfect spot!!“

“Food & service is always top of the line every time I go. Sometimes I get there 10 mins before closing but the cooks are nice enough & still willing to take my order. The girls are a great vibe and create conversation with you while they make the food from scratch & still comes out a chefs kiss. You can tell they make their food with a lot of love & passion by the way it’s served & the taste you get from the first bite. If I could rate this business out of 10 stars, I’d give it 11: best of the best in the Tri-State“

“Exceptional service and amazing food. Stopped here on our way back from a concert the next morning and the food was beyond amazing. It is a small location with limited seating but we sat outside in the sun in the outdoor seating which made it even better. We definitely will be coming back again when we're in the area.“

“We order here from time to time, specifically cheesesteaks. Tonight was the first time in a while. Our delivery was made by the owner who personally thanked us for our business and stated he is now managing the business himself and is hands on. I can totally get behind a business owner who puts an emphasis on customer service, and one who can admit shortcomings in an effort to turn it around. I respect this. To anyone reading this review I recommend trying Planet Wings, and if you've tried them in the past and were disappointed give them another chance.“

“Burger? Ribs? Thin crust pizza? Beer on tap? This is the place. Always on the list for a great casual meal. Eat at the bar for some interesting conversation. (And many gluten free options).Dietary restrictions: Extensive gluten free selections.“

“Good food here, most diners have good food and reasonable prices . Breakfast is really good here and burgers i love getting them from here cause they're fat and tasty.Parking: Plenty of parking across the street, it's a small street.“

“Love the food choices here, they are healthy, unique and very flavorful. We shared 2 things from the Happy Hour Bites Menu: 1. Street Tacos and 2. Not Your Mama's Meatloaf Sliders plus a Sourdough Margherita Pizza. All very yummy!! We followed with a Blueberry Crumble Sundae which was a great choice!!“

“I love this place! Good quality food, nice employees + all employees are on top of their service. Fun place to eat and enjoy drinks. All employees are welcoming, especially Ashley. She's fun and friendly. No complaints whatsoever of this place, highly recommend for anyone looking for quick service, quality food, and a good time. 5 stars!“

“This place is amazing every time! Don’t miss having a Negroni. The seafood is great & the alligator sausage over sweet cornbread is excellent. The manager, Alejandro -,along with the entire staff know what they’re doing. Go treat yourself!“

“Breakfast hours are to die for! I had the disk with three pancakes( A+++ for theos beauties), potatoes cubes ( Extremely crispy as I love it) and fluffy scrambled eggs (?). The waitress Paula is a sweetheart. Her warm gentle energy made my stressful Friday morning calm. The later by the front even complimented my hair the moment I left. Mind u everyone does speak Spanish and the folks who don't speak any they are treated equally. I love the warm happy vibe they gave me my mom and sis. I swear EVERYONE must dine at Perkins!!!!“

“The staff is the best - super friendly, know your order as soon as you walk in, and now they added bubble tea inside along with the regular Nathan's, Arthur Treachers and Milkshake & Ice Cream offerings... plus you can sit outside now that the weather is nice!“

“First time at Clyz since new ownership. Was a St. Patty's Day work celebration so no ordering from regular menu but rather a buffet setup with about 7 different dishes. Food was good. Service was great from waitress coming around for drink orders. They had orange whiskey for my fav orange whiskey mule! I and the coworkers I spoke to would have preferred not having the lights dimmed as it was way too dark and there was no need for such "mood" lighting.“

“33's Tavern has slammin’ tacos and great wings! I’ve had the fish tacos multiple times before and they never disappoint. Today was the first time we got wings and they were big and juicy! My husband got the steak tacos and they were also scrumptious! They are located right on Old Bridge Turnpike! (There is one wing missing that was consumed before I thought about sharing this gem!) 33’s is a bar, but you can totally go in and eat and/or grab takeout! Prices are extremely reasonable for what you get! ??“

“"I visited this place today and the food was fantastic. the chef prepared everything with care and the service was excellent. The food was freshly made and had a lovely touch of charm to it. I am thoroughly impressed with this place and I will be back. I highly recommend it to everyone."?“

“I'm not writing this in favor of a friend.. but I really loved this place.. very pleased with service . Food at its best.. I loved the drinks, though.. good to enjoy your drink outdoors when the weather is supports. Fun to hang aroudn with friends.“

“From soup to dessert there’s no place better than Teddy’s! Everyone that works there makes it feel like home! Absolutely nothing I wouldn’t recommend. From breakfast to dinner, it’s all delicious! Teddy’s is our go to place to eat ?“

“Sal's has something for everyone. They offer a delicious breakfast sandwich, as well as lunch, dinner, and dessert, where you can either eat in or take out. The staff has always been very friendly, creating a very nice small-town deli atmosphere. The only issue is that they typically forget to put parts of your order in the bag for takeout, so just be sure you check to make sure you've got it all. Other than than, I do reccomend checking out Sal's.“

“If you want good,authentic Greek without needing to go to a "high end" restaurant with "high end" pricing you found it! Jimmy's has always been consistently excellent with the food they have served me and my family. The service is fast and attentive and they do a good job making you feel welcome. The restaurant is nestled in a strip mall and when inside it is nicely decorated and comfortable. The Gyro platters and Mixed Grill platter are extremely good and the portion sizes are nice as well. The Lemon Potatoes are cooked perfectly and are addicting. My favorite side dish and if they come with the meals even better. The spinach rice is also highly recommended if you choose that as your side or have it with your meal. Always go back to this place as I haven't found a Greek restaurant close to them in the area.“

“Masa restaurant offers an exceptional dining experience with their top-notch food quality. From the moment you take your first bite, you can taste the commitment to freshness and flavor. Each dish is a culinary masterpiece, prepared with precision and care. The diverse menu offers a wide range of options, ensuring there's something for every palate. Whether you're a fan of Indian cuisine or trying it for the first time, Shalimar's food quality will leave you coming back for more.“

“Stopped in on St. Patrick's Day for some traditional food for takeout. Generous portion of corned beef and wedge of cabbage with boiled potatoes and steamed carrots. All perfectly done and delicious. Will go back soon for a beer and to try the fish & chips.“

“What a gem of a place in the Plainsboro area (which doesn’t have many bars to begin with). Good food, great prices, amazing service, clean. No super loud music means you can actually talk with the people at your table. Great place to chill out after a long day or work.“

“Perhaps i ordered the wrong main entree. The appetizers were good we got wings and the pretzels 6/10. i got chicken and waffle for my main and i have to say it was the blandest chicken ive ever had. No flavor in the chicken or the coat. Bland waffle. Most of the seasonings were on the egg and they didnt even ask me how i want that cooked because i definitely wouldve said sunnyside up…. They gave me over hard 1/10. Being unhappy with my choice i tried some of my friends’ pizzas and they were decent if you like soft crust (no crunch)7/10 in my opinion. Pistachio ricotta cake was dessert and it was good 9/10.“

“It is not your regular bar just to get yourself a glass of beer, it is a place to enjoy friends, hear music, and try and forget the words of the day. Very crowded but not shoulder to shoulder. Just close together. It is the perfect place to celebrate St. Patty's Day or any holiday with a group of friends or strangers that are about to become friends.“

“This place is amazing! Stumbled upon it while looking for a place for a friend and I to eat and we walked into here during a bingo night. Crowd is kind and the place was full of laughter and smiles. Food was great - looking forward to try other things here too. Highly recommended!“

“I was driving by and stopped to have dinner at this place. Not a fancy place but my meal was excellent.. I had stuffed eggplant and was totally satisfied. Service was fine, young lady didn't speak much English but that made the place so much more authentic. All the people eating here was Middle East and that how you now the food will be good“

“Originally a blacksmith shop and inn before turning into a tavern with the repeal of Prohibition in 1933. I may have been thrown out of here, several times. This bar is proudly #14 on NJ.com's Best Dive Bars list. I really like this place, wish it was closer to home. We used to find it by the giant satellite dish they had outside. I once tried to kiss a girl who worked here. She was so horrified she ran into the street. "Nooo..." Good times. Recently renovated before Covid. Bar top is lacquered plywood with a knotty pine fascia and walls. No foot rail but the floor is burnished (scorched) plywood. Stools are metal frame backed with cushion seats. Open 11AM to 2AM. Package goods available. Allegedly, there's a prison style two seater bathroom, sans privacy screen. More local history at keenbug.blogspot.comEvidence of billiards and electronic darts. Unused fireplace and hearth. They should should throw the Mp3 juke in the fire. Outside pen for smokers & dining al fresco. I'm told they have better food. I've seen the new menu and it looks like standard bar fare with a few salads thrown in to confuse you. Still, I miss it so...keenbug.blogspot.com/202…“

“I saw this place and stopped in. It was very clean and had a good parking lot size. The restaurant inside is rather cozy and the pizza was fantastic! I ordered I think a shrimp scampi slice and it was really big and very filling. I would definitely go back here again, the people were also very nice.Parking: They have at least 10 spots in the front shared with a barber shop and a ravioli place, and then tons more parking in the back.“
